State Supreme Court elections are the elections that truly matter in that state. Dems need to take back that majority. Until they do, nothing can change.

This is just another example of why I think the lame duck period in America is too long. Months upon months available for chicanery.

Lose the election? You’re out. Next business day.

The Republican party is the party of oppression and ignorance. They've become a melting pot for all that is wrong in our society. They then project their cesspool of of craziness & irrationality on the rest of us, campaigning that it's us & not them that are destroying our nation.

If we had a functioning democracy, the federal courts would take over North Carolina's elections. The state is no different than Russia in terms of a one-party state.

North Carolina is about as democratic as Indonesia or Turkey

bigworker.bsky.social•463 days ago

That's unfair, Indonesia has a genuinely competitive political system - their current president is respecting being term limited out and it's anybody's game in 2024: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Indonesian_general_election#Presidential_election
